CSI Network News: Watch the next generation of Canadian cleantech entrepreneurs pitch live

Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser.

Earth Tech Pitch Night is an opportunity to discover up-and-coming climate solutions and see the bright, hard-working entrepreneurs leading them in action. You’ll hear pitches from our 17 Earth Tech 2021 accelerator startups, and vote live on who takes home cash prizes totalling $10,000.

If there’s one comment we consistently hear after these events, it’s: “that was so inspiring!”

We’re passionate about supporting these early-stage entrepreneurs – they’re constantly innovating on their solutions and business models to enable greater impact. They remind us that addressing the climate crisis is possible, and that it’s up to us. 

That’s also why we’re levelling up our work accelerating climate solutions. In case you missed it, we recently partnered with Foresight Canada to grow Climate Ventures, including launching a new program, Accelerate from Anywhere, this summer (stay tuned!) and hiring a Program Coordinator to support that work (spread the word!). 

We could all use a little inspiration these days. RSVP for Pitch Night now and join us in cheering on these entrepreneurs, and perhaps supporting their success as a follower, customer, advisor or funder. 

See you on June 30! 

Shea & Barnabe, on behalf of Climate Ventures

Four Reasons You’re About to See More Electric Vehicles in the GTHA

Initiatives throughout the GTHA are tackling specific roadblocks to decarbonizing our transportation system. The hope is that these local solutions are able to increase their impact beyond the city, which involves “[looking] at things more broadly,” according to TAF’s VP Strategy and Partnerships, Mary Pickering. “Climate solutions cannot just serve carbon emissions; they must also be rooted in equity and prosperity for all.”

Seed the North: Fighting Climate Change, One Sprout at a Time

Seed the North, led by Climate Ventures alumna Natasha Kuperman, is grounded in traditional Indigenous knowledge, the scientific community, and technological ingenuity. The project targets remote and hard-to-reach areas that wouldn’t otherwise be replanted, reintroducing species not considered valuable to the forest industry but an important part of the local ecosystem.
